Hexagonal-shaped toy building block

Abstract

A toy building block which interconnects with other like blocks or other commercially available toy building blocks. The blocks herein described provide for equidistant spacing among adjacent post members which upon interconnection allow blocks to form branched connections at almost any desired angle.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A toy building element adapted to interconnect with other toy building elements, comprising means defining a relatively planar block structure, wherein said block structure hosts a plurality of equidistantly spaced adjacent post members, each post member projecting perpendicularly from said planar block structure and being generally cylindrical in shape said block structure has a hexagonal-shaped outer body portion and stabilizing means extending downwardly from an inner surface of a top base plate surface which abuts the surface of one or more inserted posts, said stabilizing means including a hexagonal skirt with a plurality of recesses surrounding a depending cylinder, said hexagonal skirt recesses and cylinder abutting posts inserting into said stabilizing means to secure the posts to said building element. 
     
     
       2. The toy building element according to claim 1, wherein said element has equidistant spacing between all adjacent post members of other like elements when stacked in a partially overlapping position to form a branched connection at a desired angle.
